I have filed custody case for my son & my ex- wife has filed maintenance case for my son. Maintenance is allowed. I did not maintenance since I want to maintain my son by keeping with me. Execution case is filed for arrear of maintenance. I file objection that since I want to maintain my son by keeping with me,I will not pay maintenance. If lower court force me to pay maintenance,Can I go for appeal ?

No. A child shall be with the mother till he attains the majority and after getting the majority then it is his wish. Now you may obtain child visitation rights from the court.

It's not hard and fast rule that "child should be with mother till he attains majority" paramount consideration for custody of child depends on " welfare of child " if you suceed to satisfy court in this regard,you may be given custody else you have to seek visitation rights and have to pay maintenance allownces .
